AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Monday went to the Civil Lines police station and alleged that a member of the Delhi chief minister's personal staff "assaulted" her at the chief minister's official residence, police officials had said earlier. She is yet to file a formal complaint in the matter. This incident has stirred controversy and speculation, as Kumar, a key figure in the Chief Minister's office, faces serious allegations from a prominent public figure like Maliwal.
The BJP also hit out at Arvind Kejriwal for evading media questions on the alleged assault on his party MP Swati Maliwal at his residence here, and alleged the Delhi chief minister is behaving more like a "goon". And as the experts see the recent AAP fiasco may impact the party’s protest in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
India TV also did a similar opinion poll on Swati Maliwal in which as many as 9,882 people participated. While a whopping 85 per cent people think that the incident will lessen the vote percentage of the AAP, only 11 per cent were of the view that it will have no impact on the Delhi-based party. 4 per cent remained undecided.
